Comedian Bernie Mac died early Saturday in a Chicago-area hospital from complications due to pneumonia, his publicist told CNN. He was 50. Publicist Danica Smith did not provide additional details, and asked that his family's privacy be respected.


I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

It's a sad day. He was one of my favorite comedians. I watch the reruns of his show all the time, I laugh and cry almost every time.

RIP Bernie. You will be missed.

this was an article from just yesterday saying he was expected to make a full recovery

Bernie Mac To Be Released From Hospital Soon
8 August 2008 5:37 AM, PDT


Latest: Comedian Bernie Mac is making a good recovery from pneumonia and should be released from a Chicago, Illinois hospital within the next few weeks, his representative has confirmed.

News of the ailing actor's illness broke last week, and at one point, his publicist Danica Smith was forced to play down reports Mac's health had rapidly deteriorated, with some rumours claiming he had died.

Speaking on Sunday, she insisted, "Bernie Mac is still alive and being treated in a Chicago hospital for pneumonia and is expected to make a full recovery. (He is) responding well to treatment and will be released soon."

And Smith has now reiterated news of Mac's improving health after sources close to the star's family claimed he was in a "very, very critical" condition on Monday.

In a new statement released on Thursday, she says: "Bernie Mac is in stable condition in a Chicago-area hospital. He is responding well to treatment and hopes to be released in the next few weeks. His family thanks everyone for the well wishes and concern."

Very Sad and shocking!

Was never a fan of his stand-up, but loved his show. We've lost 2 legendary comedians in just a couple months now.

RIP Bernie Mac.

Wow, that's surprising. Kind of scary. My daughter has pneumonia now. Shows that you never know. Nothing to play around with.
